Seems like we should be more familiar with how tricky these are based on something that happened in the past. Something that's stuck with me and made me think wrists are a significant injury. More significant then one would think.

I think the real answer here is "it depends". There are so many factors that can make an injury simple or complex and it's not necessarily based on which joint is injured. At the same time, in my experience, rehabbing shoulders is harder than rehabbing wrists. Shoulders are a ball and socket joint with more degrees of freedom than the wrist, so there's more range of motion to be regained and more planes of motion to strengthening through. Plus you have to worry about shoulder blade mechanics and postural retraining. I was relieved when it was confirmed a wrist and not a shoulder. Again, though, the real answer is probably "it depends".
